Details are sketchy surrounding the alleged Michael Crabtree incident that occurred last weekend. All that we know so far is that Michael Crabtree of the San Francisco 49ers was brought in for questioning regarding an alleged sexual assault that that took place last Sunday. Authorities say that Crabtree has cooperated fully. Now, two women claiming to be witnesses, say that an assault did not take place. Could things be looking up for Young Crab already?

The hotel-room sexual assault allegations against 49ers star wide receiver Michael Crabtree do not appear to be holding up under investigation.
San Francisco police said Friday that they were looking into a complaint that Crabtree had assaulted a woman in a hotel after the Niners defeated the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game Jan. 12.
According to a San Francisco law enforcement source, the woman who lodged the allegation was one of three women who joined Crabtree in a party at a room in the tony W Hotel on Third Street.
The other two women have told investigators that Crabtree didn’t assault anyone, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing.
Police haven’t found any physical evidence of an attack, the source added. It hasn’t been disclosed whether the woman who said she had been victimized went to a hospital to be examined.
The woman went to Oakland police four days after the party; investigators there promptly referred her to San Francisco police, according to multiple sources.
Crabtree, 25, has denied any wrongdoing, the sources told us. He was accompanied by an attorney when he spoke Friday with police, who publicly described him as cooperative.
